Ready-to-work hours reveal the real bottleneck

Available technician hours are not usable capacity when the work is still waiting on approval, parts, diagnosis, or a dispatch decision. A full parking lot does not mean the bays are fed.
The number you want is ready-to-work hours: labor that is approved, parts-ready, assigned clearly enough to start, and actually able to enter a bay now.
